This is a lovely 18th Century decorative Scottish pewter tappit hen measure.It stands 11 inches in height,is 6 inches front to back and 5 inches across the base.The top of the lid is initialed M S.The piece probably dates to the late 1700s [ probably about 1780 ]  and is in pretty decent used condition with just light wear commensurate with age and use [ some dings and light scratching ] .Thanks for viewing and please take a look in my shop for many more interesting items.
